Even the standard Mecha of the Beichen Empire can freely switch into Starry Sky Fighters.
However, the Cyan Obsidian Titanium structure is excessively stable, making it impossible to freely transform it in a short period. Additionally, its production is extremely scarce, so it definitely cannot be used to build Mecha on a large scale.
Xia Chujian: "..."
"...Then how did this safe come about? I see quite a bit of Cyan Obsidian Titanium used here."
Seven Lù actually seemed hesitant, and after a while, said, "Master, according to Seven Lù's database, the entire Beichen Galaxy's Cyan Obsidian Titanium deposits combined wouldn't be enough to make this safe."
Xia Chujian mused, "So, it wasn't made in the Beichen Galaxy?"
Seven Lù said seriously, "It's hard to say where the raw materials came from, but its manufacturing process is indeed from the Beichen Galaxy."
Xia Chujian snapped back to reality, recalling what Seven Lù had just said, and asked in surprise, "Seven Lù, does your database have a map of the entire Beichen Galaxy's mineral distribution?"
Seven Lù said, "Master, Seven Lù doesn't have a map of the entire Beichen Galaxy's mineral distribution, but it happens to have the distribution of several Special Metal deposits, such as Cyan Obsidian Titanium, which is one of them."
"What else?"
"There's also Black Silver, Cang Yi, Liuguang Gold, and so on."
"Et cetera is how much?"
"Et cetera is et cetera."
Xia Chujian: "..."
"Where did your database come from?" Xia Chujian was a little confused. "Is it a database that comes with the Shao Siming Mecha?"
Seven Lù said in a cute voice, "Don't know, Master! It just appeared after the upgrade!"
"You don't know, yet you answered so happily! You really deserve a beating!" Xia Chujian waved her fist in the air, then examined the rectangular, flat safe again.
The safe's design looked particularly ancient, with mottled bronze-green color, as if it had experienced the vicissitudes of time.
The edges of the safe were decorated with winding, meandering fret patterns made using etching technology.
In the middle of the two doors on the front, there was also a bizarre ghost face etched out.
Indigo face, blue hair.
Small and delicate, about the size of a two-year-old child's palm, more like some kind of mark.
Xia Chujian knocked on the safe, but it didn't make a sound at all.
"Seven Lù, can you open it?" Xia Chujian asked curiously.
Seven Lù said, "Master, press the ghost face."
Xia Chujian was still wearing the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, and her entire hand was covered by the Mecha.
When her hand pressed against the Cyan Obsidian Titanium safe, resting on the small ghost face, Seven Lù could access the safe's unlocking system through the Shao Siming Mecha's mechanical hand.
After a minute, Seven Lù's childish voice carried a hint of trepidation: "Master... can't open it..."
Xia Chujian was extremely surprised: "Seven Lù, there's something you can't open?! No way?! Is this some Tian Ding Star black technology?!"
Seven Lù was a little puzzled: "Master, what is Tian Ding Star? Where is it? Seven Lù's database doesn't have this record."
Xia Chujian was smug: "Seven Lù, you wouldn't understand this! Tian Ding Star is a name I invented, there's no such star at all, of course your database wouldn't have this record!"
Seven Lù: "..."
It didn't speak, but once again, a long string of ellipses appeared on Xia Chujian's visor display.
Xia Chujian didn't say it was wasting energy, and said with a smile, "Seven Lù, don't be sad, Tian Ding Star is just an interjection, meaning unbelievable."
Only then did Seven Lù say in a milky voice, "Thank you, Master, for clarifying Seven Lù's doubts, Seven Lù understands! It's already been added to the database!"
Xia Chujian nodded, looking at the mottled bronze-green safe that seemed to be covered in copper rust, and said, "Seven Lù, how do we take it away?"
Seven Lù said, "Master, change its color, as long as no one recognizes it as Cyan Obsidian Titanium, it won't be a problem."
Xia Chujian said, "How do we change it? Didn't you say that Cyan Obsidian Titanium's structural properties are very stable?"
"We can add a layer of color to the outside, we're not changing the internal properties of the Cyan Obsidian Titanium, it's very simple!" As Seven Lù spoke, it asked Xia Chujian to cover the little ghost face on the safe door with her hand again.
As soon as Xia Chujian covered it, the faint blue shimmer outside her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha appeared again.
Xia Chujian suddenly realized, "This is Eternal Crystal!"
Seven Lù said triumphantly, "That's right, Master! This is the Eternal Crystal obtained from Eze Star! At that time, Master mined an excessive amount of Eternal Crystal. Seven Lù actually only used a tiny bit of Eternal Crystal to repair Master's Mecha, and the rest was stored in the Mecha's outer shell as reserves."
Xia Chujian asked, "Is that the layer of blue shimmer?"
"Yes! The blue shimmer is the overflow effect of the Eternal Crystal. Because too much was injected, the excess Eternal Crystal wasn't used to repair the Mecha, but stored instead."
Xia Chujian was impressed. It could be played like that?!
Then she curiously asked, "Seven Lù, did using Eternal Crystal to repair my Shao Siming Mecha also upgrade the Mecha's material?"
Seven Lù happily said, "Of course! Master's Shao Siming Mecha is good, but it's not the best, not even average... After Seven Lù upgraded Master's Shao Siming Mecha with Eternal Crystal, its overall performance has been improved to average!"
The corner of Xia Chujian's mouth twitched.
So it was only average. Should she be grateful? Xia Chujian asked, "What about my Black Silver Bullets? Were they also upgraded?"
"The Black Silver Bullets are part of the Shao Siming Mecha. If the Shao Siming Mecha is upgraded, the Black Silver Bullets are naturally upgraded as well."
Xia Chujian understood. No wonder the corrosiveness of her Black Silver Bullets was different from before.
Previously, it would dissolve anything it touched until the Black Silver material was exhausted.
Now, it didn't seem to dissolve everything.
Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "How are the Black Silver Bullets upgraded? I feel like the dissolving power isn't as good as before..."
Seven Lù immediately said in a childish voice, "No, no! It's definitely better than before! The upgraded Black Silver Bullets can control their solubility!"
"If Master wants to dissolve all objects, you can enable the highest setting, which can be selected on the launch bay side..."
"If you don't want to dissolve all objects, but only dissolve certain parts, choose this!"
As he spoke, Seven Lù projected those options onto Xia Chujian's monocle display screen.
The top row was "Proteins," "Organic Matter," and "Inorganic Matter."
The bottom row was options like "Metals," "Acidity," and "All."
Currently, only the "Proteins" option was lit up.
Apart from the "Proteins" option, all other options were grayed out and had to be manually selected.
Seven Lù said, "Master only needs to eliminate the enemy's living forces, so the Mecha's intelligent system defaults to the 'Proteins' option as the most suitable to avoid accidental injury."
Accidental injury to flowers, plants, or various precious metals...
Xia Chujian watched for a while and understood.
When she was dealing with the Star Pirates' corpses in the Eighteenth Starship, her Black Silver Bullets only dissolved the Star Pirates' corpses, the years of bloodstains on the floor, and any flesh fragments...
These were all rich in proteins.
Similarly, if she encountered Remnant Species again, she estimated that the upgraded Shao Siming Black Silver Bullets would be even more powerful! At this moment, she watched the blue shimmer overflow from her palm, becoming more and more, gradually enveloping the mottled cyan-green safe.
The safe wasn't very big to begin with, measuring about twenty centimeters long, forty centimeters high, and ten centimeters wide, with a volume of about eight liters.
Seven Lù performed some kind of operation, and Xia Chujian watched as the blue shimmer settled on the outer layer of the safe.
Then, the mottled cyan-green shell soon turned into the color of black plastic.
The meander pattern and little ghost face markings on it were gone, and it looked like an ordinary plastic box.
Xia Chujian joked, "If you add a handle, it could pass for an electronic lunchbox."
Seven Lù manipulated the mechanical arm for a while, and a small handle appeared on top of the black plastic box.
It really looked like a medium-sized electronic lunchbox.
As long as no one tried to steal her lunchbox, everything would be fine.
Xia Chujian was overjoyed and generously put this "lunchbox" into her backpack.
During this round of tossing and turning, the Falcon-Class D1 Starry Sky Cruiser had been flying towards Cangge Star for an hour.
She yawned and said to Seven Lù, "Seven Lù, you're in charge of watching the people on the fifth floor. I'm going to sleep for a while."
Seven Lù quickly said, "Master, don't worry, Seven Lù will be watching!"
Xia Chujian thought, thank goodness, Seven Lù no longer says things like "Master, rest assured, Seven Lù will always be with you"...
It seems this Mechanical Intelligence is quite obedient.
Xia Chujian went to the small rest area in the Captain's room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
...
She slept very soundly, without a single dream, and woke up to find she had slept for eleven hours.
By the time she woke up, the Starry Sky Cruiser was approaching the edge of the Asteroid Belt, which meant it was only an hour's flight away from the Cangge Star's Starry Sky Terminal.
Xia Chujian was still wearing the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha while she slept.
As she sat up and put on her eyepiece, a line of mechanical text appeared on it.
[Seven Lù]: Master, don't speak. The Star Network connection on Cangge Star has been restored, and external monitoring is functioning normally.
[Seven Lù]: Master, Marshal Huo requested a video call with you half an hour ago.
The little bit of sleepiness Xia Chujian had left was startled away, and she jumped out of the small bed.
She wanted to complain about why she wasn't told sooner, but then she remembered she couldn't speak carelessly, so she pulled up the virtual display screen to vent her anger.
[Xia Chujian]: Seven Lù! Why didn't you wake me up half an hour ago?!
[Seven Lù]: Master's sleep is not good, which will affect physical health, thereby affecting life safety. Therefore, Seven Lù believes that Master's sleep is more important.
[Xia Chujian]: What I say is more important, is what's more important! Seven Lù, you can't make decisions for me, you can only provide enough information for me to make decisions. Got it?
[Seven Lù]: ...Understood, everything Master says is correct.
It sounded perfunctory.
Xia Chujian was too lazy to argue with it, and besides, she really didn't have time.
Before going to sleep, she was complacent, thinking she had "tamed" the Mechanical Intelligence Seven Lù and made it listen to her.
Waking up, she realized that the so-called "obedience" was just her illusion.
This is the second update. I almost forgot to upload it (^) There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight. (^.^)
